Pollinator Garden Day!

Today was Pollinator Garden Day at the John C. Barnard Park, a brand-new Dallas city park. This was an event put together by the Polk Soil & Water Conservation District and the City of Dallas. Located on east-end of Academy Street, the park has all kind of playground facilities, winding sidewalks, a basketball court, and now a pollinator garden with 300+ native plants! I volunteered to take photos, plus I made up a bird observation list, and have nominated the park for an eBird HotSpot. I was so pleased that the first bird I head singing was a Western Meadowlark, Oregon's State Bird. 

Construction is not quite finished, but this is a park I highly recommend and will be returning to for sure.
